Derrick Rose and son PJ Rose take to the court together in special moment
Derrick Rose returned to his high school alma mater, Simeon Career Academy, on Jan. 3. The moment was extra special because not only was the former NBA MVP playing at his old stomping ground, but he did so in the company of his son, PJ Rose.
The clip of Derrick entering the court was shared on Instagram, where he was warmly received by the fans in attendance. He gave a speech after the game, expressing his appreciation for those present.
His son is making a name for himself and enjoying his time in the spotlight. He was accepted into Ja Morant's AAU team, Twelve Time, with images of the two posted on Instagram, including one of young Rose hitting a dagger 3-point shot.
Derrick Rose spent four years at the high school where he helped them win back-to-back Class AA state titles. He earned the honor of having his jersey retired and was named a McDonald's All-American and received two All-State recognitions.
His jersey will be retired by the Chicago Bulls during the 2025-26 season. It will join Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Jerry Sloan, and Bob Love as the other Bulls legends to get their jersey hung in the rafters of the United Center.
